Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Two: A Test of Skill
Yu Wuxia was right; as soon as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy transformed by Gatling entered Ye Huan's body, he felt something was off. It was as if he had fallen into a pit of fire; from his blood vessels to his internal organs, everything felt close to boiling. The pain in his skin was tearing, as if the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy wanted to burst out of him.
Before long, a large amount of sweat covered his body, soaking through his Dao Robe. If one looked closely, they would notice small black spots on the already drenched fabric, possibly dirt formed from impurities being expelled from Ye Huan's body.
Watching this scene unfold, Yu Wuxia circled around Ye Huan, pacing back and forth, her face a mixture of shock, admiration, and astonishment. She constantly changed expressions, almost stepping forward to check on Ye Huan's condition.
It was no wonder Yu Wuxia was so anxious. The capacity of a wooden barrel determines how much water it can hold; otherwise, no matter how much water is poured in, it would never fill up. Ye Huan was like that wooden barrel. If he could withstand the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy transformed by Gatling, it would signify a bright Great Way ahead for him; otherwise, his achievements would be limited.
Unaware that Yu Wuxia was even more anxious than he was, Ye Huan was battling the intense pain. In his mind, there was only one thought: to return, to go back to the Nine Provinces Continent! For his family and friends, Ye Huan could not fall here!
Time passed second by second...
About thirty minutes later, the sweat on Ye Huan's body stopped pouring out, and his breathing became much steadier; he was no longer gasping for air.
An hour later, after enduring the severe pain with closed eyes, Ye Huan finally opened them again. A glimmer of light flashed in his eyes before they sank back into calmness.
Two hours later, when Ye Huan stood up once more, it seemed that not only had his strength increased but he had also survived an experience that nearly led to his demise. Even Yu Wuxia couldn't help but exclaim at the significant change in Ye Huan's demeanor.
If in the past, Ye Huan was like a sword drawn from its sheath, after experiencing a painful influx of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, he had become much more composed. When he was silent, he resembled a still pond; but when he spoke...
"I say, Yu Wuxia, why didn’t you warn me that a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy would cause such excruciating pain?" With a frown reminiscent of his former self, Ye Huan's demeanor shifted back to that of an arrogant friend, prompting a series of eye rolls from Yu Wuxia.
Despite the eye-rolling, Yu Wuxia refrained from reprimanding Ye Huan further. He could clearly sense that after enduring the influx of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, Ye Huan had become a bona fide late-stage Cultivator. If Ye Huan wished, the energy within him was sufficient to easily break through to the mid-stage of Cultivation!
This speed was unprecedented; even consuming pills would not yield results as fast as Ye Huan's.
Noticing the change in Yu Wuxia's expression and wanting to impress the leader of Yuxu Palace for some preferential treatment, Ye Huan casually summoned a Desert Eagle and consumed it like drinking water. Yu Wuxia could hardly contain his frustration at this show-off.
Humans are often contradictory; while Yu Wuxia felt envy and resentment towards Ye Huan's abilities, he also had to consider the future of Yuxu Palace.
Which sect did Ye Huan belong to? Yuxu. In decades or even centuries to come, Ye Huan might very well be a key elder within Yuxu Palace. Killing Ye Huan? That was something Yu Wuxia could never bring himself to do!
With a begrudging heart, Yu Wuxia taught Ye Huan how to break through the Cultivation Stage and decided not to dwell on their previous three-day agreement. After all, in front of a genius disciple, everyone else had to step aside!
Thus, Ye Huan faced his own misfortune...
For an entire week, all Ye Huan did was consume various firearms. When bored, he even swallowed different types of grenades. His progress was evident; from being someone with no Cultivator talent just a week ago, he jumped straight to the early stage of Excitement, surpassing even Mu Ziling and Yan Yue in rank...
On this day, a chilling wind swept through Yuxu Palace as snowflakes danced in the air. As the leader of Yuxu Palace, Yu Wuxia had to leave for two days to gather essential supplies from the bustling center of Great Liang, avoiding delays caused by others buying the wrong items.
With Yu Wuxia gone, Ye Huan felt much more at ease. Staying on a remote peak of Yuxu Peak, he spent his time consuming firearms and enjoying the scenery. For instance, right now, he sat idly on one side of Yuxu Peak, braving the heavy snow as he gazed toward the west where the Nine Provinces Continent lay...
Homesick...
Recalling how he had to leave home just the day after arriving in this world, Ye Huan truly felt that time was an ungrateful thing, passing far too quickly. He wondered how Ye Tian was doing, whether he had found Liu Ruyan and the others, and if Weiyang and the rest had reached the Southern Xiongnu.
Lost in thought, Ye Huan slowly stood up and transformed a Desert Eagle into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, placing it in his mouth. What occupied his mind was when he would return to the Nine Provinces Continent. After all, staying in Yuxu Palace was far too dull for someone his age.
Just as Ye Huan was feeling melancholic, a conversation suddenly reached his ears from a distance:
"Senior Brother, do you think we can really find that guy Ye Huan?"
"If we can't find him, I won't be called Senior Brother anymore! I was locked up for three days without food or drink, stuck in darkness all day. And now that I'm out, he's vanished without a trace. Is there any justice in this?"
"Exactly! Senior Brother is a dragon among men, a hero unmatched. How could he be bullied by a mere Servant?"
"Shut your mouth! Was I bullied? I just thought of him as a Servant and couldn't bear to get too excited!"
Eavesdropping on the conversation about him, Ye Huan could easily guess who the newcomers were and couldn't help but smirk slightly. 'Who would have thought that just after I advanced to Heart-Opening Stage as a Cultivator, someone would come to test me...'
From the sound of it, there were at least three or more of them. However, considering that he was at least one level above them and possessed the complete 2012 Arms Compendium, this didn't seem like much of a challenge. With a sinister grin, Ye Huan cracked his knuckles and swiftly made his way toward them...
